Sage green sweater dress

As part of my transitional wardrobe, I’ve been wearing this sage green sweater dress with espadrille wedges and I absolutely love this look.  It’s cosy and comfy and I could layer it up on cold days but it’s a great piece for spring because it suits bare legs just fine!  To accessorise, I added this Peonie Pienk headband with pearl details and I also added a green twilly around the top handle of my handbag for an added detail.  I really need to make more use of twillies because they add such a great element to a hat or bag and always look beautiful in your hair. 

ASOS Mini Dress

Hi everyone!  Apologies for being so quite for the past little while but I was finishing up my post-grad in cyber law and it was consuming all of my spare time.  It’s all complete now so we can resume regular programming.

The benefits of a social media detox

Do you know what your average screen time is per day?  According to this article, the average person spends 3 hours and 43 minutes on their phone per day.  That amount is staggering.  Not only does this mean copious amounts of scrolling on social media and checking in on other people’s lives but it also means hours detracted from our own work, relationships, health and wellbeing.  It’s time for a social media detox.
